Great place on the beach, within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, grocery, etc. Nice view of the Caribbean and pool area. Beach directly in front of El Faro is submerged, eroded away, with intermittent construction repairs to the closed boardwalk area, but able to access remaining beach heading south toward ferry terminal from side of El Faro property. Excellent communication with Graham (owner), who also helped arrange our ground transport to/from airport. This was our 3rd stay at El Faro.

Wonderful stay -

The location of this property is absolutely fantastic- the views in the morning are spectacular. We had a great vacation --can't wait to go back. The lobby staff are more than helpful and the Manager Silvia was so great- even though we didn't actually meet (we were so busy with activities)she was just a text away. Her response was immediate and we felt very well taken care of during our stay.

Great location, close to everything

Property owner was amazing with communicating very easy to reach and respond. Sleeps 4 amazingly, the other 2 not so much hide-a-bed needs a mattress. Pool was very nice & the ocean view beautiful but bring water shoes because the beach/ocean is very rocky. We had a great first visit to Playa Del Carmen and this VRBO is right in the mix of it all. Thumbs up 👍 Thanks Graham

Amazing unit with THE best local in Playa

Unit was perfect. Clean, functional, convenient, well equipped, comfortable. The common areas are clean, safe, and well kept. You just can’t beat this condo. Swimming Pool overlooking the Caribbean sea. You take literally 5 steps and you just went from the pool to the beach. Be prepared to make new friends at the swimming pool are. Guests come from all over the world and the vibe invites kindness and friendliness.Don’t hesitate to book. You won’t want to leave.

Beautiful vacation!!

This beautiful property was even better in person than it looks in the posted pictures. Our family (my husband and I, along with our 6 and 3 year old kids) had the best time staying here!! The pool and grounds were beautiful, the views, breathtaking!! Not only that but dealing with Graham from the moment we booked until we left was a real treat. Also, the man working the front desk was always helpful and happy. All staff were fantastic!! Any time we needed anything, it was addressed and taken care of right away. Finally, the location of this property cannot be beat!! So close to 5th Ave yet quiet at night. We’re already looking forward to booking here for next year!! Thank you so much, Graham, for allowing us to stay in your amazing property!!

Wonderful host

An excellent location if you like being close to nightlife. The condo was beautiful and spacious. We had a couple of issues arise and Graham took the time to respond over a holiday weekend and went out of his way to make it right for us. Can’t say enough good about him as a host. He set us up with a driver too which we later found to be half the cost of what our family paid a few days later. Just a word to the wise-the facility says no saving pool side chairs but everyone there does. It’s a little annoying but in no way takes away from Gram’s condo.

Unfortunately...I cannot recommend this unit

We stayed here for 2 weeks in February. We have been to Mexico multiple times (more than 10) since 2005. This unit just didnt measure up in any way. First thing...which is not the fault of the owner..the seaweed was horrific. Even though we were on the beach, we only got in the ocean 1 time. Seaweed were in piles on the beach 4-5ft high...and it stinks. So that alone takes away any benefit to staying directly on the beach. The Unit - the owner is prompt to reply, and the property manager on site tries to be as helpful as she can. The pictures look great but the reality is this unit is just old and tired. The kitchen is very poorly appointed - actually the worst i have had in a rental. The toilet kept leaking...we had to get them in twice to fix that. The front door was jamming...they had to come in and chisel away at the lock so it wouldnt jam...The internet..no router in the unit. the owner claims he is not aware of this...i dont know..but he should be! The internet is delivered via a repeater from a 'shared' router. One can only imagine how lousy it was. We use the network to keep in touch with elderly family members when away and also immediate family members. The internet in that unit made it impossible. After a few days i had to turn on my phone and start roaming..I roamed for 9 of the 14 days - the owner did reimburse some of that charge to me...but the point is, this unit is advertised as having wifi and it should be useable. It was as bad as dial up when we 'could' connect. I made it clear to the owner that I have not had to deal with internet that lousy in Mexico since 2008. The dishwasher was leaking...but i was so sick and tired of having workers in, I let that one go and decided to let the next round of renters get that fixed. I will return to Mexico, i have heard there are more and more measures being implemented to deal with the seaweed, but this unit is a no go for us. No one in the group was pleased with it. The pictures look much nicer. This was one of the few times we left Mexico feeling we overpaid.
